My Auratus spawned 3 weeks ago, and I am putting that female in a
seperate tank. Now an additional female has spawned. Can I safely put
her in with the other female and have both of them raising their fry in
the other tank?
Thanks!!


If your tank is large enough and/or has the right cover, it shouldn't
be too much of a problem.

Can you give us some information about tank size and maybe link to a
picture of your tank?

I'd hazard that if you just had these fish with some support/dither
crews in a 75gal with lots of rock-work and some plants you'd be good
to go.

In a 30gal equal on rock-work/plants? Not such a good bet.

Good luck!
